Very good choice. I do like The Plague better, though. Ah, it's still part of his most famous trilogy, Etranger, Plague and The Rebel. The way he incorporates his own philosophies into his absurdist fantasies is actually amazing.

I have yet to read this one! I'm planning on reading all kinds of Asian literature or literature about Asia once my usual classes end in late April. If you've read it three times now I imagine it's fucking fantastic haha! Got high hopes now!

Haven't heard of Born A Crime actually, but Ender's game yeah. Got really popular once they announced the movie adaptation so I picked it up. I wasn't too impressed, but I can appreciate it for what it is and the influence it had.
